Just placed a summit order for some shiny new parts for the upcoming body job! :D

New steel roll pan (will be welded in)
Street scene mirrors
Tailgate handle shaving kit

I'll be sure to post up some pics when everything gets here.

As for my tranny problems i still havent even looked at thw truck yet. Been way to busy the past couple weeks and the truck is officially off the road until next spring so ive kinda lost all motivation for fixing it right away lol.

New front wheel bearings, track bar, leaf spring u joints, some touch up on my exhaust and finally took off that stupid step bar the PO put on the passenger side. Drives like a new truck now, my old track bar was totally f'd

After I get this ar15 built, I'm ordering my 3" body lift finally. Still haven't been able to make it to the shop to see what that noise coming from my transfer case area is.

I needed to take my mind off things so I pulled the intake and VC's off the 454 to find this. Jug 6 is suspect, might pull the head in the am. Very good chance the motor is toast.

Drove all over gods creation to pick up a new work tractor. Full plow setup with weights and chains and even a 2500lb harbor freight electric winch on the front! It's got a brandy new motor so reselling it I should triple my investment at least, I practically stole the thing

Looks like they fit a 360LA not the 360 Maggy, so they might fit but they will leak as the bolts pattern is different.

Look for a set of used Mopar cast VC's I have seen them go cheap on fleabay. Or make your own if you have the tools.

Not as of yet, I need to pull the HB and T chain cover see whats going on in there. The valve that is related to this still moves and so does the piston. This truck needs work way more than the other one, motor mounts, tranny mounts, turbo 400 is leaking everywhere. It might have a better body but the powertrain is in very rough shape to put it mildly.
